When less is more: How increasing the complexity of machine learning strategies for geothermal energy assessments may not lead toward better estimates

Stanley P. Mordensky et al.

Summary: The study aims to develop robust data-driven methods to reduce bias and improve predictive ability. Nine favorability maps for geothermal resources in the western United States are compared, showing that modern machine learning approaches can improve upon systems built with expert decisions. XGBoost, a non-linear algorithm, exhibits higher consistency with the 2008 results compared to linear logistic regression without expert decisions.

Carbfix 2: A transport model of long-term CO2 and H2S injection into basaltic rocks at Hellisheidi, SW-Iceland

Thomas M. P. Ratouis et al.

Summary: The Carbfix 2 project demonstrates the cost effectiveness and technical maturity of capturing CO2 and H2S emissions from geothermal power plants and permanently storing them in basalt through in-situ mineralization. Field scale transport models are used to characterize the storage reservoir and evaluate the behavior of solutes. The study confirms the effectiveness of in-situ mineralization and predicts the future electricity generation decline and storage capacity of the reservoir.

A Seismic Network to Monitor the 2020 EGS Stimulation in the Espoo/Helsinki Area, Southern Finland

Annukka E. Rintamaki et al.

Summary: This study presents the deployment of a seismic network in the Helsinki capital area of Finland to monitor a deep enhanced geothermal system during its second stimulation phase in 2020. The data collected from this network, which comprises a mix of permanent and temporary stations, provides valuable information for scientific studies on reservoir processes and induced event properties. The analysis of macroseismic reports received during the stimulation phase highlights the importance of public awareness and sensitivity, while emphasizing the need for transparent decision making regarding geothermal power generation.

Impact of injection rate ramp-up on nucleation and arrest of dynamic fault slip

F. Ciardo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of increasing injection rates on the slip behavior of underground faults. The results reveal that lower injection rates delay slip generation, while higher injection rates activate dynamic rupture. Additionally, the increasing injection rates affect the nucleation time and arrest distance of slip.

Seismic precursors to the Whakaari 2019 phreatic eruption are transferable to other eruptions and volcanoes

Alberto Ardid et al.

Summary: This study identifies a general seismic precursor signal for gas-driven eruptions through correlation analysis of 18 eruptions in New Zealand, Alaska, and Kamchatka. The precursor is manifested in the displacement seismic amplitude ratio between medium and high frequency tremor bands, exhibiting a characteristic rise in the days prior to eruptions. Real-time monitoring of this precursor may improve short-term eruption warning systems at certain volcanoes.

Transient evolution of the relative size distribution of earthquakes as a risk indicator for induced seismicity

Vanille A. Ritz et al.

Summary: This article investigates the hazards caused by induced earthquakes in enhanced geothermal systems and reveals the importance of the relative size distribution of earthquakes, or the b-value, in controlling seismic risks. By comparing field observations and model results, the study demonstrates the systematic evolution of the b-value and resulting hazard during the injection cycle, which is influenced by site conditions, proximity to faults, and injection strategy. The findings provide new insights for assessing and mitigating seismic hazards and risks in geothermal projects.

A geostatistical analysis of seismicity in Oklahoma using regression trees and neural networks

Jacob Larson et al.

Summary: The study models earthquake frequencies in Oklahoma using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), spatial analysis, and machine learning statistical processes. Results show that proximity to wastewater disposal (WWD) sites, fluid injection rates, and adjacency to subsurface faults are sufficient to model seismicity in north-central Oklahoma.

Data analytics to investigate the cohort of injection wells with earthquakes in Oklahoma

Amin Amirlatifi et al.

Summary: The study found a connection between underground injection control (UIC) wells and earthquakes in Oklahoma. By analyzing the activity level and proximity of UIC wells to seismic events, wells with induced seismic activities can be identified. Changes in well behavior over time, as well as critical pressure and cumulative volume range, were found to be factors leading to induced seismicity.

The Effect of Declustering on the Size Distribution of Mainshocks

Leila Mizrahi et al.

Summary: Declustered earthquake catalogs can significantly reduce the b-value, with the extent of decrease depending on declustering methods and parameter settings. Research suggests that the observed decrease in b-value may primarily stem from the application of the declustering algorithm. Therefore, declustering should be considered as a potential source of bias in seismicity and hazard studies.

Machine Learning Approaches to Identifying Changes in Eruptive State Using Multi-Parameter Datasets From the 2006 Eruption of Augustine Volcano, Alaska

Grace F. Manley et al.

Summary: This study applies machine learning methods to classify volcanic activity, detecting critical changes without the need for physical models, which is particularly useful for volcanoes that have been dormant for a long time. Models incorporating multiple data types are more effective in distinguishing between non-eruptive and eruptive activity.

Volcanic Unrest at Taupo Volcano in 2019: Causes, Mechanisms and Implications

Finnigan Illsley-Kemp et al.

Summary: Taupo volcano in New Zealand is an active and potentially hazardous volcano that underwent a period of unrest in 2019 characterized by increased seismic activity and ground deformation within the caldera. The analysis shows the presence of an aseismic zone coinciding with an inflating source, indicating the location of a magma reservoir with a significant volume and melt fraction. This highlights the importance of monitoring and understanding the behavior of this volcanic system.

A new horizontal EGS well design with partially bridging multi-stage hydraulic fractures is proposed to improve heat extraction from hot dry rock (HDR), showing promising results for practical implementation.
